After making changes to their <strong data-start=\"189\" data-end=\"207\">coaching staff<\/strong>, including the hiring of <strong data-start=\"233\" data-end=\"253\">Christian Parker<\/strong> to replace <strong data-start=\"265\" data-end=\"282\">Matt Eberflus<\/strong> as the <strong data-start=\"290\" data-end=\"315\">defensive coordinator<\/strong>, the team now turns its attention to the <strong data-start=\"357\" data-end=\"367\">roster<\/strong>. The Cowboys have a chance to make some crucial moves, both in terms of keeping key players and letting go of others.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"488\" data-end=\"1005\"><strong data-start=\"488\" data-end=\"509\">Owner Jerry Jones<\/strong> has stated that the team will be willing to make aggressive moves this offseason, and the focus will begin with <strong data-start=\"622\" data-end=\"651\">retaining key free agents<\/strong>. Among the top players that the Cowboys need to prioritize are <strong data-start=\"715\" data-end=\"733\">George Pickens<\/strong>, <strong data-start=\"735\" data-end=\"755\">Javonte Williams<\/strong>, and <strong data-start=\"761\" data-end=\"781\">Jadeveon Clowney<\/strong>\u2014each crucial to the team&#8217;s future success. On the flip side, there are several <strong data-start=\"861\" data-end=\"900\">veterans who are unlikely to return<\/strong> for the 2026 season. Here\u2019s a closer look at these players and the impact of their potential departures.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1007\" data-end=\"1058\"><strong data-start=\"1011\" data-end=\"1058\">Players Likely to Leave the Cowboys in 2026<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1060\" data-end=\"1572\"><strong data-start=\"1060\" data-end=\"1083\">1. Jack Sanborn, LB<\/strong><br data-start=\"1083\" data-end=\"1086\" \/>Sanborn\u2019s time with the <strong data-start=\"1110\" data-end=\"1121\">Cowboys<\/strong> has been less than impactful. Signed due to his connections with former defensive coordinator <strong data-start=\"1216\" data-end=\"1233\">Matt Eberflus<\/strong>, Sanborn failed to make the splash plays Dallas hoped for. He managed <strong data-start=\"1304\" data-end=\"1331\">34 tackles in six games<\/strong> but didn\u2019t significantly impact games with his presence. With the departure of <strong data-start=\"1411\" data-end=\"1423\">Eberflus<\/strong>, it\u2019s likely that <strong data-start=\"1442\" data-end=\"1453\">Sanborn<\/strong> won\u2019t be brought back for 2026, as the Cowboys look to strengthen their linebacker corps with more productive players.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1574\" data-end=\"2137\"><strong data-start=\"1574\" data-end=\"1598\">2. Miles Sanders, RB<\/strong><br data-start=\"1598\" data-end=\"1601\" \/>Miles Sanders had an <strong data-start=\"1622\" data-end=\"1643\">interesting start<\/strong> to his Cowboys tenure, rushing for <strong data-start=\"1679\" data-end=\"1708\">117 yards and a touchdown<\/strong> on his first <strong data-start=\"1722\" data-end=\"1737\">20 attempts<\/strong>. However, a <strong data-start=\"1750\" data-end=\"1765\">knee injury<\/strong> sidelined him, and he ended the season on <strong data-start=\"1808\" data-end=\"1827\">injured reserve<\/strong>. While <strong data-start=\"1835\" data-end=\"1846\">Sanders<\/strong> showed flashes of his potential in <strong data-start=\"1882\" data-end=\"1915\">Brian Schottenheimer\u2019s scheme<\/strong>, the Cowboys are expected to move in a different direction. With injury concerns lingering, the team will likely opt for a younger, healthier back to take Sanders&#8217; place as they look to revamp their running back position.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2139\" data-end=\"2688\"><strong data-start=\"2139\" data-end=\"2164\">3. Kenneth Murray, LB<\/strong><br data-start=\"2164\" data-end=\"2167\" \/>Dallas brought in <strong data-start=\"2185\" data-end=\"2203\">Kenneth Murray<\/strong> via trade in the hopes of finding a bargain linebacker. While he was solid as a <strong data-start=\"2284\" data-end=\"2304\">downhill tackler<\/strong>, <strong data-start=\"2306\" data-end=\"2334\">Murray\u2019s coverage skills<\/strong> were a major weakness, and he didn\u2019t make enough plays against the run to justify his spot. Despite adding <strong data-start=\"2442\" data-end=\"2458\">Logan Wilson<\/strong> to the mix, the coaching staff kept <strong data-start=\"2495\" data-end=\"2505\">Murray<\/strong> on the field, but it\u2019s clear that the <strong data-start=\"2544\" data-end=\"2571\">Cowboys need an upgrade<\/strong> at the position. <strong data-start=\"2589\" data-end=\"2599\">Murray<\/strong> is unlikely to return in 2026 as the team looks for more reliable options at linebacker.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2139\" data-end=\"2688\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images2.minutemediacdn.com\/image\/upload\/c_crop,x_0,y_0,w_5575,h_3716\/c_fill,w_720,ar_3:2,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto\/images\/ImagnImages\/mmsport\/cowboys_country\/01kh2m4g1naprmhttgcn.jpg\" alt=\"5 Dallas Cowboys Veterans Who Won't Be on the Roster Next Season\" \/><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2690\" data-end=\"3308\"><strong data-start=\"2690\" data-end=\"2714\">4. Jalen Tolbert, WR<\/strong><br data-start=\"2714\" data-end=\"2717\" \/>After a <strong data-start=\"2725\" data-end=\"2753\">slow start to his career<\/strong>, <strong data-start=\"2755\" data-end=\"2772\">Jalen Tolbert<\/strong> showed promise in <strong data-start=\"2791\" data-end=\"2799\">2024<\/strong>, finishing with <strong data-start=\"2816\" data-end=\"2847\">49 receptions for 610 yards<\/strong> and leading the team with <strong data-start=\"2874\" data-end=\"2901\">seven touchdown catches<\/strong>. However, <strong data-start=\"2912\" data-end=\"2949\">Tolbert\u2019s role diminished in 2025<\/strong> when <strong data-start=\"2955\" data-end=\"2973\">George Pickens<\/strong> was added, and he wasn\u2019t able to reclaim his spot. He finished with <strong data-start=\"3042\" data-end=\"3073\">18 receptions for 203 yards<\/strong> and just one touchdown. <strong data-start=\"3098\" data-end=\"3115\">Ryan Flournoy<\/strong>\u2019s emergence as a key contributor likely signals the <strong data-start=\"3168\" data-end=\"3199\">end of the line for Tolbert<\/strong> in Dallas, as the team will likely prioritize <strong data-start=\"3246\" data-end=\"3258\">Flournoy<\/strong> and others in the receiving corps moving forward.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3310\" data-end=\"3926\"><strong data-start=\"3310\" data-end=\"3334\">5. Donovan Wilson, S<\/strong><br data-start=\"3334\" data-end=\"3337\" \/><strong data-start=\"3337\" data-end=\"3355\">Donovan Wilson<\/strong> has been a solid contributor since being drafted in the <strong data-start=\"3412\" data-end=\"3435\">sixth round in 2019<\/strong>, becoming a <strong data-start=\"3448\" data-end=\"3469\">full-time starter<\/strong> for the Cowboys and earning recognition for his <strong data-start=\"3518\" data-end=\"3541\">highlight-reel hits<\/strong>. However, he\u2019s set to turn <strong data-start=\"3569\" data-end=\"3585\">31 years old<\/strong> when the season begins, and his effectiveness in <strong data-start=\"3635\" data-end=\"3647\">coverage<\/strong> has waned over the years. The <strong data-start=\"3678\" data-end=\"3700\">Cowboys\u2019 secondary<\/strong> as a whole needs an overhaul, and with <strong data-start=\"3740\" data-end=\"3756\">Wilson\u2019s age<\/strong> and <strong data-start=\"3761\" data-end=\"3785\">coverage limitations<\/strong>, the team is likely to <strong data-start=\"3809\" data-end=\"3829\">move on from him<\/strong> in 2026. His departure could open the door for a more dynamic, younger safety to take his place.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"3928\" data-end=\"3974\"><strong data-start=\"3932\" data-end=\"3974\">Key Players the Cowboys Should Re-Sign<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"3976\" data-end=\"4170\">While the Cowboys face decisions about letting go of several veterans, there are a few key free agents that they should prioritize in order to <strong data-start=\"4119\" data-end=\"4149\">maintain competitive depth<\/strong> for the 2026 season.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4172\" data-end=\"4513\"><strong data-start=\"4172\" data-end=\"4197\">1. George Pickens, WR<\/strong><br data-start=\"4197\" data-end=\"4200\" \/>After being acquired, <strong data-start=\"4222\" data-end=\"4240\">George Pickens<\/strong> has proven to be a dynamic addition to the Cowboys\u2019 receiving corps. His ability to <strong data-start=\"4325\" data-end=\"4346\">stretch the field<\/strong> and contribute as a <strong data-start=\"4367\" data-end=\"4380\">playmaker<\/strong> makes him a vital part of the future. The Cowboys should make sure to re-sign him as they continue to build their offensive arsenal.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4515\" data-end=\"4906\"><strong data-start=\"4515\" data-end=\"4542\">2. Javonte Williams, RB<\/strong><br data-start=\"4542\" data-end=\"4545\" \/><strong data-start=\"4545\" data-end=\"4565\">Javonte Williams<\/strong> has shown the ability to be an impact player in the <strong data-start=\"4618\" data-end=\"4638\">Cowboys\u2019 offense<\/strong>. Despite some injury concerns, Williams provides the <strong data-start=\"4692\" data-end=\"4709\">power running<\/strong> and <strong data-start=\"4714\" data-end=\"4736\">big-play potential<\/strong> that the team needs. Re-signing him would ensure stability in the backfield, especially with the uncertainty surrounding <strong data-start=\"4858\" data-end=\"4875\">Miles Sanders<\/strong> and other potential additions.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4908\" data-end=\"5309\"><strong data-start=\"4908\" data-end=\"4935\">3. Jadeveon Clowney, DE<\/strong><br data-start=\"4935\" data-end=\"4938\" \/><strong data-start=\"4938\" data-end=\"4958\">Jadeveon Clowney<\/strong> may not be the same player he once was, but he remains a <strong data-start=\"5016\" data-end=\"5047\">disruptive force on defense<\/strong>. The Cowboys need to keep their defense strong, and Clowney\u2019s presence in the pass rush can still help the team improve in that area. Given his veteran experience and ability to still make plays, <strong data-start=\"5244\" data-end=\"5266\">re-signing Clowney<\/strong> would bolster the Cowboys\u2019 defensive line.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"5311\" data-end=\"5368\"><strong data-start=\"5315\" data-end=\"5368\">The Cowboys\u2019 2026 Offseason: Addressing Key Needs<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"5370\" data-end=\"5866\">As the <strong data-start=\"5377\" data-end=\"5417\">Cowboys head into the 2026 offseason<\/strong>, it\u2019s clear that <strong data-start=\"5435\" data-end=\"5457\">changes are needed<\/strong>. The <strong data-start=\"5463\" data-end=\"5480\">team\u2019s roster<\/strong> has some key <strong data-start=\"5494\" data-end=\"5503\">holes<\/strong> that need to be filled, particularly at linebacker, running back, and in the secondary. The <strong data-start=\"5596\" data-end=\"5621\">Cowboys\u2019 front office<\/strong> will need to be strategic, re-signing the right players and filling in the gaps with free-agent signings or trades. The decisions made during this period will be crucial to ensuring that <strong data-start=\"5809\" data-end=\"5831\">Dallas can contend<\/strong> in the <strong data-start=\"5839\" data-end=\"5854\">2026 season<\/strong> and beyond.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"5868\" data-end=\"5923\"><strong data-start=\"5872\" data-end=\"5923\">Conclusion: A Crucial Offseason for the Cowboys<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"5925\" data-end=\"6540\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">The <strong data-start=\"5929\" data-end=\"5947\">Dallas Cowboys<\/strong> are at a crossroads as they enter the offseason. With several <strong data-start=\"6010\" data-end=\"6026\">key veterans<\/strong> likely to move on, the team will need to focus on both <strong data-start=\"6082\" data-end=\"6108\">re-signing key players<\/strong> and <strong data-start=\"6113\" data-end=\"6139\">upgrading their roster<\/strong> in areas of weakness. <strong data-start=\"6162\" data-end=\"6177\">Jerry Jones<\/strong> has made it clear that the Cowboys are <strong data-start=\"6217\" data-end=\"6242\">willing to make moves<\/strong>, and the next few months will be crucial in shaping the team\u2019s future.
